LOVE my Vaporshark rDNA 30. Great form factor, I can use my drippers down to .5 ohms. I did have to have warranty work done on it already though. The minus button got stuck, they fixed it and had it back to me in under a week. Been flawless since then. Make sure to get one of their cases, makes it a lot easier to hold on to. The metal finish felt slippery for me. I have the white case and it looks great.

This thing definitely put my Provari mini 2.5 on the back burner for now. I also have a cloupor dna30 clone, it lets me fire down to .3 but I go for the Vaporshark because its smaller and is more comfortable in my hand.

isnt it still $180? was it woth it with the 50w just being released for $100 and the 100w right around the corner for the same price?

For me, yes. I don't really go below .5 too often anyway so I wouldn't have a use for 50 or 100 watts. Build quality is nice and solid and i love the size of this thing. Plus the removable 18650 is a big plus for me. Even comes with a Sony VTC4 battery.

With that said i do like the IPV2 50w, but I haven't used one yet.

Yea that makes sence.. i guess the difference for me is that i like to have the option for the power and range to grow into.

Can't wait to get mine. Ordered last Sunday on the last day of the sharkweek promo. Was supposed to ship by the 21st but went on back-order again.

I also ordered mine during the sharkweek promo. I was in Miami for a couple weeks and ordered one there (saved me $100 ordering it in the states and shipping it to my apartment there rather than buying it in store in Canada). I was worried it wouldnt arrive in time (I was leaving within the week), so I called and they said the black was backordered, so that may explain your shipping :) I had them switch mine to gunmetal, and it shipped the next day, arrived 3 days later!

I just tried it yesterday for the first time and its amazing. Definitely going to be my go to device!

I thought i was going to get the dna. my wife almost left her provari at the post office and if she has lost it she would of gotten my back up provari and i would of made her get me the dna. lol But she found it. i am fourtunate that i have a store here that sells them. they do not have the rdna but that is fine. i like how freaking small this is and would really like to have one. maybe one day.

My gf was using my Provari all the time too but she didn't like the 6mg nic juices that i was vaping. She's a bit intimidated by the mechanical mods I own. I think I scared her with all the safety info I told her about. So I convinced her to split a VS with me so she could vape 0 or 3mg juice and not have to share with me. Let's just say i'm the main user of the VS now lol. I love it. She really doesn't care what device she uses as long as it works well. I'm the one who has to fill her juice, build her coils and so forth on the kfl+. So as long as I set it up to her liking she's happy.

I have a .7 ohm dual coil dripper on the VS and it hits and works like a champ.

Ive had a rDNA for about a month now.. love this thing! size is perfect! charge it normally, but had to change the battery a few times when I forgot to charge. love that part. I really don't sub ohm below .6 anyway. so.. no need for high power. 30 is more than Ive ever needed. Its pretty much my ADV device.. that and a REO

I've seen a few reviews of the IPV2 so far and it sounds like the build quality is pretty bad. Busardo and Rip and someone else, twisted420? They liked the specs but there were lots of problems with quality control. They were definitely giving a 'you get what you pay for" message.

Build quality on my rDNA is superb. No problems 1 month in.

Plenty of positive threads on the IPV - Don't let the reviewer over persuade you
DNA and RDNA were given a nice review by Phil, while he really really tore the IPV to shreds.

I got on the pre-order for 79.00 and have had nothing but great vaping
40 watts on my plume veil at .04 (26 gauge via a 5 wrap macro coil) and Boba's has never tasted so ...flavorful

It's hard to argue with that price tag. That carbon fiber looks badass too

After a phone call to Vaporshark this morning to find out if they had any gun metal rDNA's in stock, I was informed by customer service that the gun metal devices are being phased out and will only be offered in black from now on. He said the two different colors are causing problems with mass production. This black is also not the original black that many of you have, this is a new matte black finish that is replacing the "old" black ones. Customer service says it is supposed to be even more durable than the current finish. So, I am waiting on a newer, updated rDNA in matte black. Wow, frustrating.

What is the size different between the rdna and the DNA? I really like how small the DNA is. I don't like the size of the mvp so if the rdna is closer to the mvp size I might just get the DNA when the money comes in. Thanks.

The VS rDNA has a user replaceable battery. The VS DNA has to be sent back for a battery change.

I am truly enjoying my VS rDNA. It's built quite well and I love the size. My 2 ProVari Minis and sitting in my mod stand collecting dust, now. Hehe . . . My mechs, as well.
